It's so odd to have a president who is secure enough and has the humility to admit fault.

Even today, Trump is claiming he intentionally mixes up Obama and Biden in speeches.

"Hey man. I knew what I was saying. I just wanted to see if you knew."

Admit fault ... in a private meating with the parties offended by the faulty statement. Will he give a national speach walking back the statement he made in a national speach?

This was not a mis speak. This was not a mistake. Biden made a political calculation for how to talk about the conflict. He is trying to appease both sides of the issue by changing his position depending on who he is talking to.

Be that as it may, name any time Trump walked back anything. I'll wait.

I can't. Happy?

Biden is less terrible than Trump, yes. In the general election, he still has my vote. Do we need to carefully declaim this every single time we criticize him?

He's also holding onto power when he shouldn't, and likely to hand the Whitehouse back to Trump as a result, just like Clinton handed it over last time. Democrats should be demanding he step down, en masse, and let somebody with more integrity run, before it's too late. He is not helping.
